Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of charging system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.Charging system 100 comprises adapter 105 (such as, AC to DC (AC-to-DC) is travelled adapter (but not limiting)), and mancarried device 110 (such as, mobile device (such as, intelligent telephone equipment, panel computer)).Mancarried device 110 comprises conductive circuit elements 1101, resistance 1102, battery 1103, sensing circuit 1104 and control circuit 1105.Sensing circuit 1104 and control circuit 1105 can be regarded as can by the battery charger apparatus using integrated circuit (IC) chip to implement.Adapter 105 for converting AC power to DC charging voltage Vchg and charging current Ichr, and provides charging voltage Vchg and charging current Ichr for charging to the battery 1103 of mancarried device 110.In addition, adapter 105 can based on the different condition of battery 1103, for battery 1103 provides various different charging voltage and charging current.The output characteristic of adapter 105 is configurable according to the condition of battery 1103.The condition of battery 1103 (such as, cell voltage) can be informed adapter 105 by mancarried device 110, and controls adapter 105 and dynamically export different charging voltages and charging current under different conditions.Preferably, this can realize charging to the battery 1103 of mancarried device 110 fast, and avoids power loss to exceed power loss threshold value.Conductive circuit elements 1101 in the present embodiment implements (but not limiting) with bipolar junction transistor or MOS transistor.Battery 1103 comprises at least one unit (cell).Sensing circuit 1104 is coupled to battery 1103, and for sensing the condition of battery 1103.Such as, sensing circuit 1104 senses the cell voltage Vbat of battery 1103 to generate the sensing result of cell voltage Vbat.Control circuit 1105 is coupled to sensing circuit 1104, and has adjusted its output characteristic since controlling adapter 105 based on the condition of battery 1103.Control circuit 1105 based on the sensing result of cell voltage Vbat, can be determined from the charging voltage desired by adapter supply and/or charging current.Control circuit 1105 passes through via specific communication interface (such as, VBUS line via usb communication interface, the proprietary communication lines via usb communication interface or via any communication interface between adapter 105 and mancarried device 110) send control signals to adapter 105, the charging voltage determined and charging current are informed adapter 105.According to control signal, adapter 105 can provide the charging voltage and charging current determined by mancarried device 110, for charging to battery 1103.Particularly, in order to realize quick charge and Thermal protection simultaneously, mancarried device 110 controls adapter 105 to supply maximum charging current as much as possible to battery 1103.The condition that the maximum charging current that can be provided by adapter 105 depends on battery 1103 and the power loss threshold value associated with Thermal protection.In the present embodiment, condition pilot cell voltage Vbat, and the power loss threshold value Pdmax of conductive circuit elements can think the power loss threshold value that associates with Thermal protection.But this is not intended as restriction.In other embodiments, the power loss threshold value associated from Thermal protection can be the threshold value of another the different circuit element be contained in mancarried device 110.In order to realize quick charge and avoid the power loss of conductive circuit elements 1101 to exceed power loss threshold value Pdmax, after the maximum charging current that can be provided by adapter 105 is provided, control circuit 1105 controls adapter 105 to adjust and then to provide charging voltage Vchg as early as possible, and the charging current provided with toilet and charging voltage can not cause power loss to exceed power loss threshold value Pdmax.The relation of the power loss caused by conductive circuit elements 1103 can calculate according to following formula:
Pd=(Vchg-Vbat)×Ichr
Wherein Pd indicated horsepower loss, Vchg indicates the output charging voltage exported by adapter 105 for charging to battery 1103, Vbat pilot cell voltage, and Ichr indicates charging current.Cell voltage Vbat can be sensed by sensing circuit 1104, and therefore, control circuit 1105 adjustable charging current Ichr also exports charging voltage Vchg, to maximize charging current Ichr and to avoid power loss Pd to exceed power loss threshold value Pdmax.That is, in order to increase charging current Ichr as far as possible, mancarried device 110 is set to reduce the voltage difference exported between charging voltage Vchg and cell voltage Vbat.Therefore, by maximizing the charging current Ichr that can supply from adapter 105, battery 1103 can be rapidly charged, and this significantly reduces the whole charging interval.In this case, control circuit 1105 can arrange and export charging voltage Vchg is voltage level, this voltage level, lower than the level calculated based on maximized charging current Ichr, so that corresponding power loss Pd is slightly less than power loss threshold value Pdmax, and does not damage conductive circuit elements 1101.That is, after determining and configuring the charging current Ichr that provided by adapter 105, mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 is optionally to export or to supply different output recharge voltage level.Such as, the first level can be determined based on above-mentioned formula and maximized charging current, and second electrical level can be the level slightly lower than the first level.According to identical charging current, the selection of supplying different output recharge voltage level provides the flexibility exporting different capacity.Mancarried device 110 controls of multiple charging levels that adapter 105 selects to correspond to different capacity at different conditions, and provides selected voltage to battery 1103.
As mentioned above, mancarried device 110 (or control circuit 1105) can be used for configuring based on cell voltage Vbat the charging current Ichr supplied by adapter 105, the output charging voltage Vchg provided by adapter 105 is provided according to configured charging current Ichr, and the charging current Ichr that control adapter 105 exports determined output charging voltage Vchg and configures.Therefore, the mancarried device 110 comprising sensing circuit 1104 and control circuit 1105 can control the output characteristic of adapter 105.Output characteristic can indicate (but being not limited to) charging current Ichr or export charging voltage Vchg.In other example, output characteristic can comprise at least one in AC to DC switching frequency, AC to DC bias current, output voltage precision, voltage ripple and dynamic load.Mancarried device 110 also can be used at least one characteristic by adjustment AC to DC switching frequency, AC to DC bias current, output voltage precision, voltage ripple and dynamic load etc., control the output characteristic of adapter 105, to adjust charging current Ichr.
It should be noted that, according to the formula of the power loss of conductive circuit elements 1101, in a first embodiment, control circuit 1105 determining/configure charging current Ichr after, adjustable exports charging voltage Vchg, or in a second embodiment, determining/configure charging voltage Vchg after, adjustable charging current Ichr.
In an embodiment, conductive circuit elements 1101 can be implemented with bipolar junction transistor.When adapter 105 pairs of batteries 1103 charge, bipolar junction transistor closes and becomes saturated.Voltage drop between the collector and emitter of bipolar junction transistor is labeled as V cE, it can equal in some instances as 0.25V – 0.4V.The voltage difference exported between charging voltage Vchg and cell voltage Vbat can by V cE+ Ichr*R represents, wherein the resistance value of the resistance 1102 of R instruction between bipolar junction transistor and battery 1103.Resistance value is very little, and can ignore.Voltage difference between output voltage Vchg and cell voltage Vbat is no better than V cE.Therefore, maximum charging current Ichr can be calculated by following formula or estimate:
I max = Pd max V CE
Imax indicates maximum charging current Ichr.Such as, if power loss threshold value Pdmax is designed to 0.7W, then maximum charging current Imax can be configured to 2.8A – 1.75A, and it depends on the voltage drop V between the collector electrode of bipolar junction transistor and emitter cE.If voltage drop V cEequal 0.25V, then maximum charging current Imax can be configured to 2.8A.If voltage drop V cEequal 0.4V, then maximum charging current Imax can be configured to 1.75A.The control circuit 1105 of mancarried device 110 is set to control adapter 105 to export the charging current Ichr of maximum charging current Imax as battery 1103, and output equals voltage drop V cEwith the output charging voltage Vchg of the summation of cell voltage Vbat.The output charging voltage Vchg supplied by adapter 105 dynamically can adjust according to the change of cell voltage Vbat, because cell voltage Vbat can be sensed by sensing circuit 1104, and voltage drop V cEcan determine.That is, mancarried device 110 based on the varying level of cell voltage Vbat, can control adapter 105 with the maximum current Imax of stable output and different recharge voltage level.Therefore, battery 1103 can with maximum charging current Imax with constant-current mode quick charge.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of the ESD protection area of diagram conductive circuit elements 1101 (such as, bipolar junction transistor) as shown in Figure 1.As shown in Figure 2, except configuration charging current Ichr is except maximum charging current Imax, control circuit 1105 also configurable charging current Ichr is any electric current being less than maximum charging current Imax, and controllable adapter 105 adjustment exports charging voltage Vchg or do not adjust output charging voltage Vchg.The dashed region instruction of Fig. 2 to close and when becoming saturated, conductive circuit elements 1101 can not damage due to the pyrolytic damage caused by power loss when conductive circuit elements 1101.That is, dashed region represents the ESD protection area of conductive circuit elements 1101.Such as, charging current Ichr can be configured to by mancarried device 110 electric current (such as, 368mA, 500mA or 777mA) being less than maximum current Imax (such as, 1.75A).When the level of cell voltage Vbat equals 3.6V, mancarried device 110 (or control circuit 1105) sets accordingly and exports charging voltage Vchg is 5.5V, 5V or 4.5V.The exportable more or maximum power of combination (or other combination of voltage and current) indication adapter 105 of 500mA and 5V.In addition, when charging current Ichr is configured to the electric current being less than maximum current Imax by mancarried device 110, mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 is to export different voltage levels for charging.Such as, when charging current Ichr is configured to the 777mA electric current being less than 1.75A by mancarried device 110, mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 is to export different voltage level 4V – 4.5V for charging.Similarly, when charging current Ichr to be configured to the electric current of 500mA by mancarried device 110, mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 is to export different voltage level 4V – 5V for charging.Charging current Ichr becomes less, then the scope exporting recharge voltage level becomes wider.It should be noted that, the example be shown in Fig. 2 is only used for illustrative object, and is not intended as restriction of the present invention; In other example, when adapter 105 charges to battery 1103 constantly, cell voltage Vbat can change in time, and the ESD protection area of conductive circuit elements 1101 dissimilates accordingly.In addition, maximum power loss (the i.e. power loss threshold value) 0.7W of conductive circuit elements is only used for illustrative object, and is not intended as restriction of the present invention.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram illustrating the I-V curve of adapter 105 according to the embodiment of Fig. 1.Control circuit 1105 is set to adjust charging current Ichr after determining/configure to export charging voltage Vchg.As shown in Figure 3, such as, control circuit 1105 or mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 with the voltage of the electric current (i.e. charging current Ichr) and 5V of supplying 1A (namely exporting charging voltage Vchg) for charging to battery 1103.Adapter 105 can provide the power of 5W.Alternatively, then control circuit 1105 or mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 to reduce and to configure that to export charging voltage Vchg be 4.6V lower than 5V, and control adapter 105 and in the scope from 1000mA – 1086mA, select a current value as charging current Ichr for charging to battery 1103.If charging current Ichr is configured to 1086mA, this shows that adapter 105 still provides the power output of almost 5W.Adapter 105 keeps its power output to be 5W substantially.And charging current Ichr still can be configured to 1A.Alternatively, then control circuit 1105 or mancarried device 110 controllable adapter 105 to reduce and to configure that to export charging voltage Vchg be 3.8V lower than 4.6V, and control adapter 105 and in the scope from 1000mA – 1315mA, select a current value as charging current Ichr for charging to battery 1103.If charging current Ichr is configured to 1315mA, this shows that adapter 105 still provides the power output of almost 5W.Adapter 105 keeps its power output to be 5W substantially.And charging current Ichr still can be configured to 1A or 1.086A.Namely, when charging voltage Vchg is configured to lower level by control circuit 1105 (or mancarried device 110), can increase and be fed to the charging current Ichr of battery 1103 for charging to battery 1103 fast by adapter 105, especially in constant current charging mode, and adapter 105 can keep its power output to be specified peak power output (such as, 5W) substantially.

Step 430: sensing circuit 1104 is placed through serviceability temperature transducer to detect the operating temperature of conductive circuit elements 1101, senses and checks whether the actual power dissipation of conductive circuit elements 1101 exceedes power loss threshold value Pdmax.If the temperature detected is lower than temperature threshold, this can indicate the actual power dissipation of conductive circuit elements 1101 not exceed power loss threshold value Pdmax, and flow process enters step 435; Otherwise flow process enters step 450;
Step 435: the control circuit 1105 of mancarried device 110 sets/configure the output charging voltage Vchg of the adjustment provided by adapter 105;
Step 440: sensing circuit 1104 is set to sensing cell voltage Vbat, and control circuit 1105 is set to estimate whether the cell voltage Vbat sensed changes.If the cell voltage Vbat sensed changes, then flow process enters step 420; Otherwise flow process enters step 445.
